21. Many saw accidents are caused by dull, badly set, and improperly filed cutting blades;
gum or resin adhering to the cutting blade; and by saw blade misalignment with the
fence. Such conditions can cause the stock to stick, jam, stall the saw blade, or kick
back at the operator. Never cut anything other than wood with the included Saw
Blade; cutting hard materials can cause the carbide blade to shatter and break apart.
WARNING: Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning OFF the Table
Saw and unplugging the Line Cord from the outlet.
22. Avoid awkward hand positions (i.e., crossing arms during operation) in which a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the moving saw blade.
23. Before making any adjustments to the Table Saw, the Switch should be in the OFF
position and the Switch locked OFF.
24. Never turn the Table Saw ON before clearing the table and work surface of all objects
(tools, scraps of wood, etc.), except the stock to be cut.
25. Avoid Kickback of stock:
- For rip cuts, the saw blade must be exactly parallel to the fence to prevent pinching
or heeling. Use the stock Separator (27) on the output side of the stock cut.
- Only feed the stock against the rotation of the saw blade.
- Keep the stock firmly on the table while cutting.
26. When making rip cuts:
- Push only on the main section of stock, between the saw blade and the fence.
- Always use a push stick, never your hands.
- Do not release the stock before the cut is complete, and push beyond the saw blade.
- Always push the stock through the saw blade, never pull it through from the opposite
direction.
- Always use the anti-kickback claws.
- Do not rip stock that is bowed, warped, or has nonparallel edges.
- Never reach over or behind the saw blade.
27. The use of abrasive, cut off, or wire wheels can be dangerous and must not be used.
28. Never perform any sawing operation freehand.
29. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during
cutting may cause these to loosen.
30. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water.
Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Exten-
sion cord usage may also affect tool performance.
